HP-48/49/50 emulation on iOS

RE: HP-48/49/50 emulation on iOS
Sorry for hijacking the thread again, but I want to add some more (maybe interesting) info related to iMazing and m48+ .
As written above, iMazing can install an app on an iDevice regardless of the existence state in the App Store.

In the case of m48+ , it seems that not all data structures are restored to the iDevice automatically.
One way would be to re-create the structures and contents (ROMs, Skins, etc.) by copying the files and folders from within the file browser built into iMazing.
But the (IMHO) best and cleanest way would be as described below.

During the last few days, I tried various things related to m48+ and iMazing.

Since the full restore from a backup only works in the registered version of iMazing, I bought a license and tried restoring an iPhone from a prevously made full backup.
In iMazing you have a check box which, when activated, can use local versions of apps to restore to the device instead of d/l them from the App Store.

This didn't seem to work for m48+, which I have in my iMazing media archive.
I had to manually install m48+ from iMazing after the restore.

After some trials with manual creation of the m48+ directory tree,
I found out that it works best as follows:
First Install m48+ (through iMazing)
Immediately after that tap on the m48+ button.
It will start wanting to prepare some things (like data structures) for itself.
Let it run through.
Then you can take m48+'s offer to automatically set up a calc.

After that go to the m48+ menu by double tapping the screen.
Go to "Fetch" and grab all of the offered items:
(ROMs,Skins,Docs,MK,...) . Anyone interested in a SpeedUI 20.05 state file?

If the screen is empty after you tap Fetch, then the hosting site is offline.
Try later throughout the day.
A the time of writing this the site is offline, but it may be online a few hours later.

So go fetch it while it is offered:-)

A side note: If you save a state (*.m48) it will be saved in "/" (the relative root).
However if you want to load a state, the file browser is located at "Documents".
So you have to move up in the tree first to find you saved state.
Interestingly at that point the "Documents" dir doesn't exist at all.
If you manually create it, and store your *.m48 state files there using the built-in file manager,
they will be in reach w/o switching dirs.

Sorry again for beeing OT, and maybe there were better places (like an own thread "Restoring m48+ using iMazing"or alike), or even the iMazing or m48+ developer forums.
But I don't want to dive into this any further. With the efforts involved, it works as wanted:-)
